There is concern with the mountainous regions here, we think wind gusts could hit up to 150 miles per hour. There's concern too for high-rise buildings in Puerto Rico.
We're concerned about the very heavy rainfall over most of Florida. We're looking at three or four days of heavy rain down here, accumulations of up to 20 inches. It's not going to be a pleasant time.
We're concerned about a big stretch of the coast. And, possibly, (Bonnie) could strengthen a little more before it makes landfall.
One or more of the (forecast) models bring it on shore (along) the Georgia-South Carolina border with winds of, perhaps, 50 miles an hour.
I don't understand what's happening out there, but things are popping.
We think Dennis will turn up the East Coast and with any luck will miss everything, but it will come close enough where we'll worry about it. In three days it can be on almost any of us.
We may hit everything from central Florida through North Carolina, at some point, with a (hurricane) watch or (hurricane) warning.
It is now moving away from the North Carolina Outer Banks. It is still causing strong winds and heavy rain.
I think there's a reasonable chance it will get stronger.
That suggests that they're going to get strong winds (in Florida) and they're really going to get some strong surf out of this.
We don't expect Dennis to become a hurricane again. Whether the storm makes landfall is questionable.
We thought it may have been weakening a little bit before it came over land. In fact ... it probably was not a Category 4 (hurricane) when it came across the barrier islands. It may have already been down to a (Category) 3 (hurricane).
We've had (rain) accumulations of as much as 25 inches in some locations. We're going to see that show up in the rivers for the next two or three days, eventually into the Rio Grande.
The origin of the system is being better organized, and more like your classical-looking hurricane. It could go back to a category 3 storm.
We're very much concerned about the coast, primarily Georgia and the Carolinas, but it could still be even as far west as northern Florida. It's erratic. It could do something weird.
There's a glimmer of hope that it might miss the whole coastline altogether.
There's some glimmer of hope. Some of the (computer) models are beginning to show that it may miss the coast.
Storm surge (in coastal areas) could be a real problem, depending on where the actual landfall is. That's the thing we are most concerned about.
They didn't have a chance with those bad forecasts. It's frustrating. You're seeing people die because what you did was not good.
It's as natural as day for us to be here.
It's like a plate of spaghetti here, trying to pick the center of it.
It's going to around for a good while and that heavy rain is going to really cause suffering.
Not that we think it's going to make landfall. We don't. But we think it's going to come close enough to cause hurricane winds ... on North Carolina.
Once it gets over land, it'll probably just become a Nor'easter.
The fear of a stall is that it makes the storm surge much larger, because it sits there and pushes water up on the coast for a long time. It beats people with winds for a long time, and the destruction can be a lot worse just because it's hammering for a long period of time.
I'm certainly concerned about these people. I'm concerned about people all up the coast because everybody may have this one to deal with before the end of the week. ... I wouldn't rule out this one being a problem for New England by the weekend.
Because the ground is saturated, trees will get blown over pretty easy.
Andrew was almost the same intensity as this storm, but Andrew was small. This is a huge storm so ... (Floyd) is much more dangerous than Andrew.
